In a public service announcement send-up made for Mashable, '80s
icon Kevin Bacon gives Millennials the plain, painful truth about growing up in the technology-deprived Me-Decade.

"All you guys born after 1985 have no idea how hard life was," Bacon says in the clip.

Here are a few choice quotes from Bacon's teachings:

"You think Russia's a threat now? Let me tell you about a little thing called the Cold War. They had nukes pointed at us for 20 years. You couldn't
even skateboard to a Blockbuster without getting nuked."
